Windows 3.1 apps relied on cooperative multitask and were built to deal with it. When you had mulitple DOS sessions running they had no mechanism for cooperative MT, so the OS had to stop one session to allow another to run. As we all know from experience, it didn't work very well, but it was still pre-emptive, in that the app had absolutely no control over it, unlike apps written for cooperative MT.
